I recommend that you remain entirely unaware of the extent of my illegal and morally questionable activities. The movie/TV show piracy, the ad blocking, the software theft, and the KVM-based Hackintosh I’ve been using lately will surel

Your comment reads like an incredibly passive-aggressive cease & desist letter. Yes, you're filing a patent, and yes, you started doing this over a year ago. Good for you! This marking of territory is an immature look you really do

Just install an ad blocker and be merry. If this particular nastiness isn’t caught by one of the major ad blockers, simply plug the device into Charles Proxy and capture the ad requests being made, and submit an enhancement to the ad block

I have worked at one company that paid employees for fake positive reviews. I’ve worked at another company that ran witch hunts on a regular basis in order to flush out the authors of negative reviews. Management spent time reading between

The argument I’m making is that Facebook isn’t actually worth its market cap. Its value is in fact negative when viewed in the larger context of humanity. So, my question sought to discover the sum of money that would become payable to whoe

G Suite isn't private because Google isn't in the privacy or productivity business. It's an advertising company that happens to have a product line which looks like a productivity suite. Charging money for it is just a nifty

I don't know how things are back home, but here in the US "getting into web dev" is something people do mostly as a way to increase their earnings. Yes, there are some gems in the crowd, but the base case, so to speak, is som

I’m glad to see my countrymen branch out into blogging in English so that the rest of the world can have a great big dollop of Russian fatalism. More to the point: everything’s well and truly fucked, yes, but surely more education cannot fo

Does it really matter what others think? Too much of our self-worth is tied up in the fleeting opinions of others. There are only two opinions that matter to me: my wife’s and my daughter’s. The rest of humanity is made up of people I inter

What does it mean to be "hounded" by collection agencies? I've allowed some of my debts to go unpaid because I considered repayment to be a poor deal. Yes, I've received phone calls, which I answered and calmly informed

What are you talking about? I've been using a similar homegrown setup for many years and never had any issues. In fact, I've come to appreciate being able to write directly on my Mac shell scripts destined to run on Linux boxen in

Credit Karma is actually quite helpful: it sheds light on the shadowy practices of credit rating agencies. It's true that consumer credit rating should be burned down with extreme prejudice, but Credit Karma the app is probably the one

Addiction progresses like a disease, but begins as a moral failing. If I were to begin using heroin today, it would be by conscious choice, not because there's something wrong with my body.

This works really well for Zipcar too: I personally go over the vehicle with a fine toothed comb before driving away from the garage, note any issues, notify customer service, and go on my way. This way the finger will never be pointed at m

Kodi makes BitTorrent only marginally easier to use. It integrates a VPN a little more seamlessly than a laptop running your general-purpose OS of choice. All this makes a much bigger difference for a non-technical user, but for the average
